What is indexing and how does it work on the graph ?
Indexing is a process that allows data to be quickly and easily retrieved from a database.
On The Graph, indexing is used to store and query data from decentralized applications (dApps) built on Ethereum, IPFS, and other blockchain networks. Indexing works by creating an index of the data stored in the dApp. This index is then used to quickly search for specific information within the dApp.
For example, if you wanted to find out how many people have purchased a certain item from an online store, you could use the index to quickly search for that information. The Graph also uses indexing to create a decentralized query language called GraphQL. This language allows developers to easily query data stored in the dApp without having to write complex code.
By using GraphQL, developers can quickly build powerful applications that can access data stored in the dApp without having to manually search through it.
